The Penguins came out soft in Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
The Pens gave up two goals in the first period, and could never climb their way all the way back. Steve Downie showed off his cuddle soft hands while finding a puck in a crowd, and putting it passed Fleury. A few minutes later Vinny Lecavlier tackled Kris Letang along the boards to spring a small two-on-one. Martin St. Louis never...

The Penguins failed to defeat the Flyers on CONSOL Energy Center ice for the third time this season, Tuesday night.
Coming off of four straight shootout victories, the Pens came out flying against the Flyers. In the first period they were rewarded with a two-on-one featuring Alex Kovalev and James Neal. Kovalev sent a wrister cruising past Sergei Bobrovsky low stick side, to take the lead w...

Dan Bylsma has been behind the bench in Pittsburgh for only about 25 months but his resume in that short period of time speaks for itself. Since Bylsma took over for Michel Therrien on Feb. 15, 2009, Pittsburgh has been a perennial Eastern Conference powerhouse and Stanley Cup contender, not to mention a Stanley Cup Champion.
Bylsma turned the 2008-2009 season around in a big way for the Peng...

For years people have been debating who is better, Sidney Crosby or Alexander Ovechkin? I have always thought that Crosby was better than Ovechkin, in terms of being the best player in the world. Finally, people cannot say that I am being biased.
Crosby is the leading point scorer (44) in the NHL. He is currently entertaining a 14-game point streak, a streak that has included 15 goals and 14 as...

Had a chance to catch the Blue Jackets and Sabres game tonight. There is truly no reason the Pens should not extend their winning streak another game tomorrow at Nationwide Arena. The Jackets, while having a very good season overall, looked awful against Buffalo. A few thoughts about the Jackets v. Sabres game.
-The Blue Jackets gave up three PP goals tonight after playing solid special...

He is absolutely unstoppable. Sidney Crosby has added yet another feather to his cap. Not a bad way to start the month of December. Crosby scored three goals (a natural hat trick, the first of his career) just two days after being named the first star of the month of November. Here are some notes from the final game stats, as the Pens defeated the Atlanta Thrashers 3-2 at the Consol Ene...

Ray Shero has truly been a top of the line general manager for the Pittsburgh Penguin over the four years. Every general manager has their ups and downs, but Shero has had few mistakes he couldn't quickly undo. A couple of his great additions include
-Craig Adams off waivers from Chicago; Miroslav Satan, Petr Sykora, and Matt Cooke in free agency; resigning Sid Crosby; trading for Tangr...

Calgary Flames v. Pittsburgh Penguins
Location – Consol Energy Center
Some things I noticed from the game and the final stats -
- 24 shots in the first period? The Pens now have two 20+ shot periods in their past two games. Those types of periods can wear a team down, especially on back to backs (like Calgary and Pittsburgh were in this game.)
-Brent Johnson got the start and saw 31 s...

Won't be able to do this for every game, but I'll have the time today.
Location: Pittsburgh, PA – Consol Energy Center. 1:00 PM start.
-Flower is starting his 318th career game. In his career he holds a GAA of 2.82 (regular season). This season, his GAA is 2.68. His recent streak (6-0-1) has already made up for his season opening 1-6-0 stretch, and even has a better GAA than his car...

A few weeks ago Sidney Crosby spoke out about the slump of Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fluery. Crosby told the media that Fluery needed to regain confidence on the ice. At the time, Pens coach Dan Bylsma flopped between the strong starting 33-year old Brent Johnson and the playoff tested but slow starting veteran in Fluery. Crosby told the Pittsburgh Tribune’s Rob Rossi “H...

Just when we thought Jordan Staal was going to make his debut for the Penguins tonight, Pens fans find out the Staal will be on the shelf for another 6 weeks with a fractured hand. Staal was hit in the hand by the puck during practice on Monday during practice and underwent surgery to repair it. Staal had been sidelined with an infection in his foot affter surgery to repair torn tendons fro...
